NBA Draft Trades (As of Draft Lottery)

1. Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, 14th Overall Draft Pick, 2020 Memphis Grizzlies Conditional First Round Draft Pick and 2020 Los Angeles Clippers Conditional First Round Draft Pick for Anthony Davis
-Celtics add a superstar in Anthony Davis without totally dismantling their roster and still being able to compete even if Kyrie leaves with Al Horford/Terry Rozier/Jaylen Brown
-The Pelicans will not get a better offer than this from any one else. The ceiling of this offer is just too high if you're going to trade AD either way.

2. Jrue Holiday and 9th Overall Draft Pick for Tyler Johnson and 2nd Overall Draft Pick
-Suns need a veteran to lead the development of all of their young talent more than another young talent. They add a solid leader that fits well on the court while maintaing a top 10 pick.
-Pelicans add Barrett to Tatum which is a great young wind duo.

3. Bradley Beal for Kevin Knox, Dennis Smith Jr., Frank Ntilikina, Lance Thomas and 3rd Overall Draft Pick
-Knicks at this point would be confident of their ability to make good use of their two MAX slots still remaining in cap space.
-The Wizards won't top this deal for Beal and would have to take it on pure value alone.

4. Mike Conley for Andrew Wiggins and 11th Overall Draft Pick
-Conley is a solid veteran point guard that could really help take Towns to the next level.
-Wiggins is a super expensive flier during a rebuild around JJJ, but adding a second lottery pick and dumping Conley's contract outgoing makes it worth it.


5. Taurean Prince (absorbed in TPE) and 5th Overall Draft Pick for 7th Overall Draft Pick and 11th Overall Draft Pick
-Hawks get two picks in addition to the Mavericks pick to give them 3 in the top 11 for Taurean Prince and dropping two spots in the draft.
Grizzlies add Prince to Wiggins for wing depth, but more importantly they jump the Bulls for Darius Garland.

6. Marvin Williams for Allen Crabbe and 27th Overall Draft Pick
-Nets create additional cap space while filling a need with Marvin Williams.
-Hornets likely stretch Crabbe, but take on the extra salary for the chance at an asset.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers - Zion Williamson
2. New Orleans Pelicans (via Phoenix Suns) - R.J. Barrett
3. Washington Wizards (via New York Knicks) - Ja Morant
4. Washington Wizards - Cam Reddish
5. Memphis Grizzlies (via Atlanta Hawks) - Darius Garland

Ignoring the insanity of this, why do you have the Bulls drafting 6th as opposed to top 4 where they would end up if the season ended today?

He did it in a simulator and it randomized where the picks landed if im not mistaken after seeing his other mock draft thread. I also think he had yall going to 5th worst record by the end of the year and the hawks being 4th worth yall played a bit better than us it seems lol. So you actually went from 5th to 6th pick in the simulator after that if im not mistaken.
